Lead Killing the U.S.'s National Bird

As we already know, lead is a dangerous chemical that has been removed from many objects the average human uses. Unfortunately, lead is still harming and killing other animals, including the United States's national bird the bald eagle. The bald eagles, along with other birds, are not directly being targeted, but because many hunters still use lead bullets for hunting the birds ingest fragments of lead while eating the dead carcasses of other animals killed from these lead bullets.
